Long time good friend of the family has a garage, so very fortunate on that count. Only parts required were belt, seal, oil and filter. None were expensive from frauds believe it or not. Didn't need the timing tool as it was the auxiliary belt, not the timing belt :D

Hi pal great looking van
What drop are the fronts as van I’ve bought was low low but horrible to drive bouncing around everywhere
But coil snapped gone through tyre
I think last owner has cut them if honest
I don’t know people would suggest. For the drop on the fronts
I have chance to get 60mm but worried it will put me back to that really uncomfortable driving
Any help would be appreciated
Many thanks

60mm? In my opinion, do not go that low. I am on 35mm uprated springs at the front using new standard uprights, and i hate it. I have got a full set of Gaz that is being installed soon, just got to find the ramp time.

Replaced the half melted loom plug to the heater blower resistor as the motor was intermittent :roll: And replaced the resistor itself for good measure :D Sorted 8)
